The Savior of 30k Edition
Knight Errants: Doing Jobs No One Else Can Do Sub-Edition
Previously on the last thread we had a slight scare, pessimistic predictions for the future of Forge World's Horus Heresy, Satan gave good advice despite being the Prince of Lies, and why haven't you accepted the Imperator Titan as your lord and savior? Old thread >>46471229

>>46486043
There is no saving 30k, at least until Inferno comes out and we have something real to discuss beyond veiled shitposting.
First for Night Lords
First for ALL THE LEGIONS, SOLAR AUXILLIA, QUESTORIS KNIGHTS, MECHANICUM, MILITIA AND CULTSThat are loyalists
>>46471351
What are those tanks in the middle? I don't recognise them.
>>46471754
Yes, it is. In 40k maxing out the Dev squads gives you meatshields and last-resort anti-infantry versatility, but in 30k, anything you need to shoot with 10 lascannon shots should be shot at by multiple units, preferably a mix of vehicles and infantry.
More missile launchers might be worth it, particularly in larger games, because of their decent effectiveness against everything, but, again, they need positioning and a turn stationary to be useful, and if they don't get that salvo off, you just wasted a lot of points on something that didn't do its job.
Alpha Legion's Infiltrate could make them work a treat, and maybe droppods, though I don't know the rule details for them because I never use them.
Teleportation ftw.
>Alpharius

>>46486043
Help, I've been gone for a long time. There are new Justaerin? What's so different about them?
>>46486469

So when does Kelbor-Hal get rules?
About the same time as the Emperor and Horus Ascended?
>>46486163
>There is no saving 30k
This is guaranteed. GW has their hands deep in the honeypot, so yeah.
>>46486431
>What are those tanks in the middle?
They're Dracosans as far as I've gathered, a kind of bulky transport used by the Solar Auxilia.
>>46486508
I bet they're still disgustingly overpriced, even with two wounds.
>>46486508
That's it? Still sounds shitty
>>46486528
Ty.
>>46486163
>>46486520
What are we supposed to be saving it from?
>>46486567
Ourselves.
>>46486528
Yes, Dracosans with demolisher cannons instead of a TL lascannon. Cuts the transport capacity down from 20 to 10, but a 13/12/11 5HP transport with a demolisher is too good to ignore. If you really want to make them unkillable they can take armored ceramite and a flare shield. And on top of that there's the explorator adaptation that makes them void hardened and giving them a 6+ invuln against blasts and templates.
They're fucking amazing and one of the better units FW has produced.
Yes, I am the motherfraking Imperator Titan
Here to turn you into a crater
Yes, it's true I was made ten thousand years ago
Crushing millions of mankind's enemies like bugs
I blasted them all as phosphex burned throughout the night during one campaign
Yes, I do put all wraiths and battlesuits to shame
Their pussy weapons on their pussy frames
They get credit for being overpowered
But really, I'm runnin' this game
Yes, I will run for Warmaster and become a Lord of War
I'll win, too
And table every army
And if you try to stop me
I'll frakin' kill, kill, kill
Yes, it's true
I once hooked up with a Warlord Titan
We burned cities, oceans, and everywhere
Yes, that Warlord gave birth to a Warmonger who might turn you into a crater
So beware, motherfrakers, beware
Yes, I am the motherfraking Imperator Titan
Here to turn you into a crater
Remember me
Remember my song
Remember my Plasma Annilator
And my enchanting banner

>>46486555
They also come in 5 base with the same price, they can still add 7 more for a total of 12. All the same price. They're actually better than fire drakes now and are pretty scary
>>46486724
oh shit, really? What book are they in? And what's the standard load out people use?
What happens to Nuceria, the planet Angron was "raised" on?
I want Angron to get a "pet the dog moment" and go full grimdark Batman on his slavemaster. A real grimdark "inverted Batman" would be if Angron used his most brutal slaughter techniques on the children of the guy(s) who enslaved him. It would be like poetry, it would rhyme. They made him this brutal rage machine, and they were destroyed by him.
Does that actually happen?
Because Mortarion is the other Primarch with an abusive "parent", and he gets a middling "revenge". It would suck if Angron got nothing.

>>46486791
Angron got a very bad hand dealt to him. Fun fact: those bunny ears World Eaters wear was something he brought from homeworld.
>>46486778
Typical terminator loadout, include Horus if you feel like spending half to a third of your points on one unit. Add a primus medicae to a 12 man unit in a Spartan to have a ridiculous Death Star. Just watch out for medusas, typhons and vindicators

Assuming you're willing to pay for it Dracosans are absolutely on the upper end of the terror scale.
>>46486869
I was thinking 5 with pairs of claws and one multi-melta and primus medicae so they can perfect deep strike with Horus to obliterate a vehicle then kill the passengers. Or are the claws too much?
>>46486920
You can't assault the turn you deep strike (and the primus couldn't come anyway)
Just make sure you don't get shot to death the turn after you drop
>>46486898
Don't forget the void shield relic.
>>46486869
Nigga, that needs 28 transport capacity mimimum. Being "only" 10 justaerin and Horus and the PMedicae, otherwise the unit is so big nothing short of SH can carry them around
>>46486978
Should have clarified that's 12 justaerin, the primus and no Horus. 25 spaces
>>46486567

Take a look at 40k. That's what it needs saving from, but it's inevitable.

Just because anon was kind enough to reiterate polity doesn't make you less of a retarded cunt mate.
>>46487028
Thanks for making me laugh with that filename. On a simi-related note, one of my dudes took up the office of chaplaincy unofficially and tried to bring some order back to the legion and was a Justaerian. Did chaplains have the rosarius back in 30k?
>>46487133
Be means embarking a dude wearing the void shield generator relic...but I'm not sure it'd still be active, considering the dude is no longer on the table, but embarked inside the dracosan
>>46487163
It uses the same wording as banners, which are ruled to work from hull, so take that as you will.
>>46487157
Nope, they're essentially just commissars. Except word bearers who ironically enough are actual chaplains
>>46487157
Not a rosarius per se since religion was banned, but as consuls, they could take the refractor field, which doesn't actually apply to a Cataphractii.
It'd be fine to give him a necklace or something and say it's what he holds an extra shield generator in, though it wouldn't have a gameplay effect.
>>46487133
A Demolisher Dracosan with Armored Ceramite, Auxilliary Drive, Extra Armor, Flare Shield, and Heavy Flamer comes to 230 points. No idea how much an HQ with a void shield or the power axe guys cost.
>>46487156
>Misses a period whole sitting on a moving bus
>English as a 2nd language
>Most surely retarded
I guess you're roight m8, I'll go atone 12 hours in the glove. Still, fuck off.
That other anon, thank you for being polite when you didn't had the need to be so. You're rarer than a loyal Word Bearer
Which of the Primarchs were Tragic Villains, Anti-heroes, or bland Mary Sues?
>>46487250
*While
>>46487247
That 230 should include the void hardened upgrade too, my bad. Explorator whatevers.
>>46487250
>Literally needs to learn what a period is.
Didn't mean to harp on an ESL, but don't expect spoon feeding to be polite when you're interjecting slurs yourself.
>>46487236
But the Corzius was still a thing or did the loyalists think maybe the Word Bearers were on to something?
>>46487238
Thanks for the advice, Anon.
>>46487258
Yes.
>>46486791
>laughing Terran.jpg
While I agree that the Dracosan is far from unkillable, it is an extremely cheap way to get demolisher cannons. Solar Auxilia can easily field five plus demolisher dracosans at 2000 points.
>>46487258
>Tragic villain
Angron. Too bad the nails made him too angry to do actual planning, or to be liked...or to do anything other than being angry, pretty much.
>>46487258
Angron, Magnus, Fulgrim, Perturabo... kinda? Konrad.
Lion, Alpharius, Jaghatai sorta, Leman Russ sorta, Konrad when he's Judge Dredd and not the Night Haunter.
All of them or none of them, depends on whos writing.
>>46487365
Guilliman was a great commander, and had stuff few others had, like a mother, for example (Dorn had a family too, didn't he?), and then builds an empire, but the traitors shit it up and kill Half his legion in record time.
Is that to be a Mary Sue?
>>46487454
Not more than any other Primarch.
>>46486654
What's this a parody of?
>>46487247
Yikes. That's a lot of punch for what it's packing, particularly if spammed.
>>46487332
You're right. Five Demolisher plates hurts my dudes too much.
What do my fellow SM players think would be the best build against those tanks?
The Caestus seems like a fairly threatening option. Ramming and Melta Blasts (I know about armoured ceramite), as well as whatever troops within it that can assault from disembarking (I'm thinking storm-shield Hammernators).
>>46486965
Why couldn't the primus join? You can give them terminator armor
>>46487601
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/ptero
>>46487628
Do you need termie armour to join a termie unit? I read the wiki's 30k section on Morturg & the Deathshroud, but I don't know how reliable those wiki guys are

Guilliman (depending on your point of view)

>>46487307
Crozius' in the other legions are just badges of office. The Word Bearers were the first to make them "Chaplains" but the Blood Angels actually invented the Wardens which is what they started as then spread to the rest of the legions.
>>46487608
There's also the Sicarian Venator, but it's almost as obscenely phallic as the Tyranid Pyrovore.
I'd rather saw off the "tip" of it and have it look more like an old style cannon steam-punkified than a penis.
Its stats are pretty damn good as a tank destroyer, though.
>>46487687
You don't need terminator armor but you do need a way to deep strike to join them when they come on the board
>>46487792
Thanks, Anon.
>>46487628
The unit doesn't confer deep strike on the primus, terminator armor or not
>>46487975
He already has it? If you're using Justaerin and other terminators and you're not using a RoW that gives them deep strike, you're retarded
So two Graviton guns on my melee Contempor Dreadnought, yay or nay?
>>46486724
How come? I thought Fire Drakes are only one (well, among legion specific at least) with 2+/3++.
>>46488460
Fire drakes don't get BS5 combis, and most 2W termies are either completely melee or little shooty. Justaerin can do both, albeit it'll cost you. Calling them "better" is a little exaggerated, but not completely unsubstantiated

Mendicant Bias
Malevolent Vagabond
Aegis Fate
Whiskey Tornado
>>46490001
Considering two of those are from Halo anyway you might as well have just told him to name them like UNSC ships.
>>46490001
I am fluffing out a Titan legion I made on one of these threads through the Titan generator. I was disappointed when I didn't get even a Warlord, but Reavers have hands which means I can still have Titans that freeze and punch things to death. Warhounds are okay though. So ice theme names are welcomed.

Gypsy Danger

>>46490449
>A hero who lacks conventional heroic attributes.
Khan, Russ, and Corax are basically only "heroes by association" (being loyalist and all). Most of the traitor primarchs were anti-heroes before falling to Chaos. Alpharius may very well still be.
>>46490583
I don't think this hat was meant for me.
>>46490616
Khan just wants to ride his bike, and Corvus is one of the nicer Primarchs.
>>46490663
>Corvus is one of the nicer Primarchs
And the most sneaky beakie primarch, and probably most cheeki breeki as well. He spends most of his time running away.
>>46487792
No
The word bearers had religious chaplains
The blood Angels developed wardens due to the thirst - in the surface they acted as commissars but they were really there to check for the flaw
This didn't spread to other legions - instead the chaplains were spread via the word bearers
The blood Angels didn't use them as they had wardens and the iron warriors had war smiths
Wolves had wolf priests even then
What's interesting is the word bearers spreading enforcement of Nikea and yet Lorgar and Magnus stay all chummy - no mention when they meet in the city of grey flowers
>>46490749
Warsmiths are IWs chapter masters.
>>46490616

dude's origin is extremely heroic, what are you smoking
>>46490801
It's Curzefag. She's been fapping to Curze so much Slaanesh is smoking her brain cells. Or more logically her mother smoked something when she was pregnant with her.
>>46490801
See >>46490728. And to answer your question, I'm smoking hot.
>>46490770
They fulfill a role of enforcing legion ideals
>>46486043
Odd question.
The new red book in the information about the Iron Warriors, it states the following
"additional unit types: Tyrant Siege Terminator Squads (which are an elites choice on the Force Organisation chart)"
But on the very next page, it lists them as heavy support.
Which one is correct, has this been faq'd? Does anyone know?
>>46490997
Would love to know the answer to this as well. Moving Tyrants to heavy support means I have to take Hammer of Olympia to bring all the shit I want, which I'd rather not do.
>>46490944
I'd expect their chapter masters to enforce a history of bitter paranoia and being something of a meme on these threads.
>>46491018
I was at Adepticon this past weekend for the 30k events and heard a few of the players asking the same question. There was one guy there with 4 Sicarans and 10 tyrants and they said it was good since the book hadn't come out in time for the event to be included, but that the organizers are going to look into it before next year.
>>46490940
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
Yeah no.
>>46490663
The hat was ALWAYS meant for you...
Your choices. Irrelevant.
Your fate. Inevitable.
>>46491292
Nice try, Tzeentch, but I don't follow your rules. I'll wear whatever power hat I want when I want. I'll just swap this power fedora for something else like a power fez.
I have seen the leaks for all the new TS swag FW is previewing but what about the Wolves/Custodians/ Sister of Silence? Anyone got any word on them other then 'their coming'?
>>46490997
Considering the profiles are what was mostly changed for the IW, my guess was it was a case of lazy copy and paste from the old book and they forgot to update the text to say heavy support
>>46490997
I'm guessing the text on the summary is a copy/paste typo from the previous edition and that they intended it to be moved to heavy support. I don't agree with the change, but I'm pretty sure it's not a mistake.

>All the traitor primarchs.
Not really, only Fulgrim and Angron, maybe Cruze fit the definition of a tragic hero. Thing is tragic heroes aren't sympathetic to most modern readers because part of the definition is that you have a crippling flaw big enough to cause your downfall. Most modern people consider such characters assholes. So yeah Fulgrim's drive towards perfection and Angron's rage led to their downfalls, Mortarion, Perturabo, and Lorgar were just bitter, Magnus and Horus were tricked, and Alpharius is just a dick.

You appear to have Iron Hands and Iron Warriors confused for each other.
What would be a good way to represent original Terran Legion(s) before Primarchs are found?
Would it be viable to run a Thunder Warrior themed army with Blackshield (Chymeriae)? Not sure where could I get the Mk 1 armors though.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever made a setting where the HH never happened?
I mean even if it didnt, they'd still be up shit creek because of Necrons and Nids, no?

Use their original paint schemes and tactics. The original Death Guard (Dusk Raiders I think?) would use jet-bikes, bikes, rhinos, and a lot of outflanking

That reminds me, how do other Titans that can't use teleportation get deployed and recovered (from and to orbit)?

how impractical would a CQC Emperor Class Titan be?
>>46495215
It would only be able to fight other Titans, and most likely nothing smaller then a Warlord, as Reavers would be up to its knees and beyond the reach of CQC Melee weapons.

Stomp/kick.
Or just make it's arms longer. Whatever.
You're already making a 200 foot tall walking robot with the intention of having it punch things, so fuck it.

It would be completely helpless against massed Shadowswords though.

Ever read Titanicus? Group of Warhounds rip a Warlord to shreds.

Terminator Titanhammer Squads are a military formation used by the Space Marines.
These squads represent the indomitable spirit of the Space Marines in their battle against their enemies. They were pioneered by Captain Darnath Lysander of the Imperial Fists, and proved to be an extremely successful formation, as evidenced by their successful suppression and eventual extermination of the Legio Unctator.[1]
When the Unctator Titan Legion sent to support the Imperial Fists unexpectedly turned on them, they threatened to destroy Lysander's Astartes. Thinking quickly, he formulated a plan that involved the assembling of a number of Terminator Assault Squads armed with Thunder Hammers.[1]
Taking command of this new squad Captain Lysander and his retinue teleported to the bridge of his flagship, where the captain retrieved a single Vortex grenade. Commending their souls to the Emperor they teleported back down to the planet, emerging into the material realm within the void shields of one of the Chaos Titans. As it approached Lysander threw the vortex grenade, which disabled the Titan and created a hole within the massive machine. With this opening formed, the "Titanhammer" squad went inside the large machine and used their thunder hammers to destroy the Titan from within. This action was repeated with the other Chaos Titans, resulting in the destruction of the entire renegade Legio.[1]
Since that day, Lysander has always assembled Titanhammer squads to deal with Chaos forces' war machines. Furthermore, several more Chapters have followed Lysander's example.[1]
>mfw titans think that they are tough
>>46495510
Again, in Titanicus, that happens. A fucking Warlord is destroyed by ground forces with boarding cables.
Seriously that book is a must read for Titan fans.
Yes, I am shill. I will shill that book until the day I die.
Titans are tough, but only when they are on the proper playing field. Just look at ah, what the fuck is it called. Shadow of the Colossus.
>>46495387
And a group of Warhounds with cables trap an Imperator which is then mob-boarded and taken in some story.

Why are White Scars so powerful, even with half rules ?
Anyone know of any decent bits for combat shields for bolt-pistol arms? White Scars are the goal, but generic would probably look fine.
>>46495894
Because so many authors have offhandedly mentioned them being good at stuff that now that the focus is on them, being true to canon means them being totally badass.
This is even more apparent with the Khan.

It isn't, but PD has gained a considerable hatebase here. Which makes sense, while I love the concept I hate how it was executed. The people who wrote in it had never read a single HH Book and it really showed.
>>46496061
I just never bother reading any fanfic /tg/ produces because /tg/ most of the time is worse than BL.
>>46496102
That's a pretty bold statement considering the current status of BL.
>>46496117
BL is reliably a notch or two above fanfic, if only for the decent pacing and grammatical readability.
>>46496117
Just imagine that BL decided to shift their focus to anime and little girls, and I think you would probably get something similar.

I am thinking of dropping the Tacsquad and Fire Raptor to replace them with Bikers with anti tank gear and a regular flier.
This list is mostly rule of cool, but I would like it to fit better together.

But there aren't any rules for the Khan yet, right? I'm building my scars force now.
>>46496790
How are you handling the white?
Are you going the suoperior route of MKII?
Which Rite are you using?
>I hope its dickbikes.
>>46496790
Not yet. But he beat the fuck out of Mortarion in Scars, so he should be a powerhouse.
>>46496797
Not the guy you asked but I'm going Sagyar Mazan because I'm not particularly competitive. I kind of just want to build a fun army and not care if I get tabled..
Plus I've played Salamanders since I was 12, so Shattered Legions is where it's at.
I got one Fast slot and I'm torn between a Lightning and Storm Eagle. Lightning would give me some much needed anti-tank, but it's subject to AA. Storm Eagle would give me a transport for large squads and it can pack some anti-tank weapons as well, but I feel like it's one or the other, since dropping off dudes means it's turning itself into an easy target and if it's just flying around firing at targets, it's not serving as a transport.
>>46496885
Good on you, Anon!
>>46496910
Depends on the rest of your list.
Storm Eagles can fulfill multiple roles, but if you are looking for Spartan Destroying anti tank, then you should go for a lightning.
>>46495921
I don't see why so many people would play Ultras.
It makes sense in 40K, since they are the main faction, but in HH their fluff is pretty bland.
Its not even a choice of being the "good guys" or not, since every legion had traitors and loyalists regardless what side the majority was on.

Wasn't that another case of fast vs durable, except this time the tank was too durable, and even the Khan isn't as good as Fulgrim?

There's rules for a Preator with Early Crusade honours (just gives them a warlord trait I think), and read the legion's blurb to see the style they generally preferred - though most are just mild examples of whatever they turn into

Titan Landing from Wrath of Iron.
‘In all my years in service,’ said Nethata, ‘I have never seen one of them make planetfall.’
‘I have,’ said Heriat.
‘Is it worth the wait?’
Heriat shrugged.
‘You’ll be the judge of that.’
The clouds parted. A shaft of hot, red light lanced down, striking the landing site in the centre. The growl of massed engines grew to a roar. Even with aural dampeners operating, Nethata found the wall of sound impressive. For the troops down below, it must have been painfully loud.
The wind picked up, pulling at his cloak and ruffling its fur lining. A gale swirled around the dais, flinging ash in all directions. The shaft of light grew in size, turning into a column of thundering, trembling flame. Other shafts joined it, until five mighty pillars of fire streamed down from the heavens and on to the wide ferrocrete arena below.
Moving with stately precision, five gigantic mass conveyors broke through the tormented cloud cover and descended planetwards on a shimmering cushion of heat-wash. Five vast engines threw immense quantities of promethium-blaze into the atmosphere, and even from many hundreds of metres away Nethata could feel the raw heat of it against his skin. Above the roar of the engines the structure of the landers themselves rose up in bronze and gold and crimson. The skull and cog insignia of the Adeptus Mechanicus was engraved into the sides of each one – ten metres in diameter and surrounded by strobing banks of lights. Above each insignia was another device: a black sun ringed with a coronet of electrical brilliance.
In stark contrast to the drab, functional vehicles of the Imperial Guard, these vessels were majestic creations. Every surface was covered in baroque bronze imagery – angels, demigods, mythical beasts, arcane machinery of long-forgotten provenance.
>>46497263
thank you based anon
>>46497355
The earth beneath Nethata’s feet vibrated like a drumskin. Huge waves of heat from the engine discharge rolled over the dais, prickling his skin. He could see soldiers in the front ranks down on the plain struggle to hold their positions, craning their necks to take in the massive vessels as they descended.
With a heavy, echoing crash, the lead conveyor touched down. It sat heavily on the landing site, rising up like some towering edifice from the ferrocrete. Flames from its colossal exhausts rippled away, and the throbbing roar from its engines slowly began to wind down.
Once on the tarmac, the lander’s shape and purpose could more clearly be discerned. The ship was nearly twice as tall as it was deep and wide. Almost all of its bulk seemed to be taken up with a single immense load-bay. Tiny lights flickered at the very summit of the mass conveyor where, presumably, the bridge and control functions were housed.
The forward-facing flank of the ship was wreathed in steam. Despite that, two words could be made out across its surface, graven in High Gothic letters five metres high.
‘Legio Astorum,’ said Nethata, reading out loud. ‘They enjoy advertising their presence, do they not?’
Heriat let slip a wry smile.
‘If I had such toys to play with,’ he said, ‘I would too.’
Nethata laughed.
Once all five vessels had touched down and the deafening engine noise had died away, nothing happened for a full seven minutes. The conveyors settled on their landing braces and the smoke and steam of the descent gradually drifted away. The honour guard of mortal troops waited patiently, none of them uttering a word.
>>46497370
Then, without warning, a long, jagged crack ran down the front of the lead vessel. It was followed by a series of echoing clangs from within, then the throaty sound of fresh machinery gearing up. Smoke poured from ducts along the vessel’s sides, and the crack slowly began to widen. Warning klaxons sounded from somewhere near ground level and a series of floodlights burst into life.
‘Here it comes…’ murmured Heriat, watching the spectacle as intently as everyone else.
Nethata felt his heart-rate pick up. Having served on so many campaigns, he was used to the sight of war machines in action. It was something else, however, to see the mysteries the adepts of the Machine-God employed in order to bring their divine engines to war.
The crack widened further. The flank of the conveyor parted to become two doors, each propelled outwards by banks of enormous pistons.
Two gigantic treads were revealed at ground level, each one many metres across and clad in thick blast armour. Nethata’s eyes moved upwards, scanning across two colossal leg columns, corded with pistons and segmented into huge panels. Above those massive legs was an armoured torso, angular and multi-faceted. Atop it all was a skull-like head, crowned with a dim row of cockpit lights protruding from under hunched, sloping shoulders.
It was vast – almost indescribably vast. Enormous weapons – multi-barrelled and snub-nosed – hung from housings on either side of its flattened torso. Two more were mounted atop its armoured back like the dorsal spines of an animal. Steam cascaded down its flanks like cataracts down a mountainside.
Warlord, thought Nethata. By the Throne, it’s big.
With a grind and shriek of metal, the doors settled into their open position. Clouds of smog and smoke subsided across the landing site.
Nethata watched, and waited.
>>46497383
The warning klaxons died out. Lights flickered into life along the machine’s cockpit, and the acrid stink of void shield generators bled out into the air.
It didn’t move. Nethata knew that the god-machine would not take a single step for several hours; not while the machine-spirit within was sluggish from the orbital drop. Days might pass before it would be ready to deploy on the battlefront.
But it was alive. Nethata could feel it, as could every other soul lined up to greet the lead Titan of Battlegroup Praxes. The Warlord-class engine Terribilis Vindicta had come to Shardenus, ready to march alongside four other Titans of the fabled Legio Astorum.
A sharp snap ran through the air, followed by the hiss and boom of vox-projectors powering up.
‘Lord General Raji Nethata,’ came a broadcast voice from the Titan, so loud that it made the men on ground level visibly shudder. ‘Battlegroup Praxes, of Legio Astorum, the Collegia Titanica. Permission requested to deploy.’
Nethata smiled. The formality was unusual and the courtesy unexpected. Rauth had summoned the engines to Shardenus, and if any permissions were required then they should have been directed to him. Perhaps the princeps – whoever he or she was – was signalling a desire to respect the sensitive divisions of power within the Imperial forces. Or perhaps, as Rauth had not been able to attend, they merely addressed the most senior officer in front of them.
When he replied, his voice was similarly augmented, sent to a hundred relays placed across the landing site and audible from every corner of it.
‘Welcome to Shardenus, princeps,’ he said. ‘No permission is necessary; we are honoured to have you marching with us.’
>>46497333
Centurion.
>>46497391
Fun fact, the Legio Astorum is one of the few Titan Legions still capable of teleporting some of its titans into battle from orbit.

They fought on Cadia against the 13th Black Crusade, so he could well actually have a line to them

They're loyalists from their own perspective. But I'm sure after Phall and Istvaan, there's a good number of Iron Hand, Raven Guard, Salamander, and Imperial Fist commanders who would spot an Emperor's Children vessel in orbit and shoot first, ask questions later.

Two very different sci-fi staples I like to use for inspiration when it comes to naming BIG THINGS.
>>46498311
Exactly. I personally love that kind of stuff. Between the egos and confusion and lack of communication. Not to mention the frustration of future historians and tacticians who can't figure out why these two came to blows, and so the whole report gets swept under a great big --REDACTED-- stamp at best, or tossed in the fire at worst. That is what I love about 40k and HH.
>>46498386
There's also things like the Alpha legion being such dicks to the Iron Warriors that they betray them, joining up with Salamander remnants, despite having previously been avowed traitors
>>46498535
And Alphas being traitor loyalists or loyalists traitors to a certain degree anyway due to their cell structure.
>>46498631
These were definitely Traitor Alphas, on a mission from Horus and working with the Death Guard as well as the Iron Warrior contingent.
And they were such dicks to the Warriors that the Warriors defected back to the loyalist side, killing the Alphas in revenge for being used as bait earlier in the campaign.

I am personally unsure if my list will work that way with over half of my points being infantry.
Furthermore, reavers come with chain axes etc.
What you see is what you get would again apply, yes?
I would dislike to cut around on them just for points sake and not handing my opponent a note on how they are equipped.
>>46496759
The Black Reaving works better at higher points. If you want useful troops and reavers at this level, I'd suggest Maloghurst as you get Vet Tacs also. Plus there's no third compulsory troop or MoS
>>46498343
I'll take a look at these. Might have to rename my legio as the power fedora rubbed me the wrong way.
>>46498631
Have there been any cases of genuine loyal Alphas? None of the "we betrayed the Emperor for the Emperor" nonsense. I'm talking about "you can take your fancy Eye of Horus and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, we're coming for you Dad!" loyalists.
>>46499436
There will definetly be some splinter groups that are for the Emperor.
>>46499433
Good point, but how where would you put him with that Legion banner of his?
Also, he is a traitor, so I am a bit unsure...
